18 I will pursue them with ^fsword, famine, and pestilence, ^hand will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, ⁱto be a curse, a terror, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations ^dwhere I have driven them,

13 ^bFor I have sworn by myself, declares the Lord, that ^cBozrah shall become ^da horror, a taunt, a waste, and a curse, and all her cities shall be perpetual wastes.”

17 Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in, ^thow Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer ^usuffer derision.”
